info

This documentation lists only the settings that you need to change from their default values. Be aware that any changes other than those explicitly mentioned in this guide could cause issues accessing your application.

authentik configuration​

Redirect URI changes in authentik 2026.5

In authentik versions earlier than 2026.5, all Redirect URIs are automatically treated as Authorization type. If you are using one of these older authentik versions, add only the Authorization URL to your Redirect URIs and do not configure a Post Logout URI.

To support the integration of Seerr with authentik, you need to create an application/provider pair in authentik.

Create an application and provider​

  1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and open the authentik Admin interface.

  2. Navigate to Applications > Applications and click New Application to open the application wizard.

    • Application: provide a descriptive name, an optional group for the type of application, the policy engine mode, and optional UI settings. Take note of the Slug value as it will be required later.
    • Choose a Provider type: select OAuth2/OpenID Connect as the provider type.
    • Configure the Provider: provide a name (or accept the auto-provided name), the authorization flow to use for this provider, and the following required configurations.
      • Note the Client ID and Client Secret values because they will be required later.
      • Add two Redirect URIs:
        • Strict Authorization https://seerr.company/login
        • Strict Authorization https://seerr.company/profile/settings/linked-accounts
      • Select any available signing key.
    • Configure Bindings (optional): you can create a binding (policy, group, or user) to manage the listing and access to applications on a user's Application Dashboard page.

  3. Click Submit to save the new application and provider.

Seerr configuration​

Preview feature

Seerr OpenID Connect support is currently experimental. Use the preview-new-oidc Docker tag and back up your Seerr configuration before changing it.

  1. Stop Seerr.
  2. Open your Seerr settings.json file. For Docker installations, this file is usually in the mounted /app/config directory.
  3. Enable OpenID Connect sign-in and add authentik to the oidc.providers list. If you already have providers configured, add this object to the existing list.
settings.json (excerpt)
{
    "main": {
        "oidcLogin": true
    },
    "oidc": {
        "providers": [
            {
                "slug": "authentik",
                "name": "authentik",
                "issuerUrl": "https://authentik.company/application/o/<application_slug>/",
                "clientId": "<Client ID from authentik>",
                "clientSecret": "<Client Secret from authentik>",
                "logo": "https://authentik.company/static/dist/assets/icons/icon.svg",
                "newUserLogin": true
            }
        ]
    }
}
  1. Save the file and start Seerr.

Existing Seerr users can link their authentik account from Profile > Settings > Linked Accounts by clicking Link Account and selecting authentik.

Configuration verification​

To confirm that authentik is properly configured with Seerr, open Seerr and log in using the authentik button. You should be redirected to authentik and then redirected back to Seerr.
